Title: Improvements relating to Elastic Vehicle-tyres.
Inventor: COLLIER ARTHUR THOMAS
Filed: 1908-01-23
Granted: 1909-04-23
Abstract: 1590. Collier, A. T., and Foster, H. S. Jan. 23. Tyres, elastic other than pneumatic.-In filling tyres with material as described in Specification No. 3314, A.D. 1906, comprising a gelatinous substance the cells of which contain compressed air, the material is put in the tyre against the pressure of one or more pistons. As shown in Fig. 1, two canvas pistons d move inside the tyre from an inlet diametrically opposite an outlet c when the gelatine is inserted. A rod f prevents closure of the outlet by either of the pistons, which, when the tyre is full, are withdrawn. Only one piston need be used, the inlet and outlet being close to each other and separated by a diaphragm h, Fig. 4. A spring may be placed inside each piston to increase its resistance to motion. With sectional tyres, the piston, Fig. 5, is flat, and an inlet pipe j passes through it. Alternatively, two rollers n, Fig. 6, pressing on the tyre, may furnish the resistance necessary for the insertion of the gelatinous material.
Patent GB-190814689-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process for Rendering Metal Blocks Dense and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: HEIDTKAMP PAUL
Filed: 1908-07-10
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 14,689. Heidtkamp, P. July 12, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act 1907]. Casting.-In the process of casting metal blocks under pressure to render them dense and to avoid the formation of cavities during solidification, pressure is applied on all sides of a mould formed in three or more mutually adjustable parts, and the cross-section of the mould is thereby reduced as the metal cools. The pressure may be applied by a number of plungers, but, in the example shown, the adjustable sides a, b, c, d of a rectangular mould, Figs. 1 and 3, are wedge-shaped and are pressed inwards by forcing them into an external mould h made in one piece. The parts a, b, c, d are held together by weak pins e, which are sheared during pressing, and a space k is left between each part and the external mould. The mould a, b, c, d, which rests on a die f, is filled outside the press, and brought into position by a trolly g. A piston then raises the die f, until the part h bears against the frame r, when further motion of the piston presses the mould a, b, c, d into the part h, thereby forcing each part inwards and reducing the cross-seption of the mould. At the same time, a die q and piston p exert a vertical pressure on the metal. The pressure on the pistons l, p is increased as the block cools. Moulds are also shown for a triangular and an hexagonal ingot, and for compressing two or four rectangular ingots simultaneously.

Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 6396. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. March 17. Heels, machines for.-Heels are fed to a heeling-machine down an horizontal guideway 17, Fig. 2, in which they are arranged side by side with the tread face upwards. A spring 20 forces the end heel upwards into a position in which it is engaged by a spring-pressed clamping-bar 22, Fig. 6, on the backward movement of a heel carrier 7, which moves transversely across the end of the guideway. The bar 22 forces the heel backwards until it engages a V-shaped incline 21, by which it is centred. On moving the carrier forwards, the springs of the bar 22 are eased until a latch 25, having a V-shaped recess corresponding with that of the incline 21, engages the back of the heel. The latch is adjusted by a slide 26. The heel, held thus between the bar 22 and the latch, is then moved forward under the drivers. The upper part of the carrier is formed as a nail-holder having nail guiding and supporting plates 11, 12. On reaching a position below the drivers, and before the drivers reach the nails, the carrier is pressed downwards and ultimately locked by a pair of levers operated from the cress-head of the machine, the yielding movement of the carrier being- effected against the pressure of a strong spring by which the carrier slide frame is supported. The heel is thus pressed down and clamped firmly on the heel-seat of a shoe on the jack.

Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 9356. Bishop, A. C. April 20. Ice-making, can or mould apparatus for.-Ice is produced from undistilled or untreated water by freezing the water as it flows upwards through vertically-arranged chambers 2, which are open at the top and bottom and are surrounded by refrigerating-pipes 6, 8. The chambers are permanently fixed in a tank A, which may be provided with covers C. Water is supplied continuously to the tank through inlet pipes 10, and flows upwards, the continual flow removing impurities from the water. Air is also forced upwards through the chambers from pipes 12 to agitate and purify the water. Surplus water escapes by the outlet 5. The refrigerating-pipes are arranged in two separate series, which cross each other and are provided with an inlet header and an outlet header. To remove a block of ice, the supply of refrigerating-fluid in the pipes 6, 8 is cut off, and a stream of hot gas or fluid is admitted from tubular nipples 15 from a supply pipe G, so as to form channels in the ice block, into which ice tongs may be placed. The chambers are built into a frame 4 and are supported by angle-irons 3 so as to leave a free space beneath the chambers for the circulation of the water.
